Can you promote in r/webapps?
The short answer
Publicly share concise, relevant information about your web app (launch, demo, or news) focused on value to readers and clearly identify it as a web app.
What works here
- Posting about web apps, services, and related news
- Sharing your web app or recommending useful web tools
What gets posts removed
- Posting native/mobile/iOS apps that aren't web apps
- Irrelevant self-promotion that doesn't relate to web apps

Web Apps Only rule
Posts must be web applications (not iOS/native), so founders should ensure product is a web app before posting.
